more fully hereinafter, the Winding of the hair Figure 31S e, bei-.tem pien View ef my hair-wav- 35` Figure 13 shows a type of heater in which my hair-waving device may be placed.

Figure 14 is a detail, partly insection, showing the upper portion of the heater shown in Figure 13.

With reference to the drawings, my invention is shown as comprising a mandrel I, upon which the hair is adapted to be wound. This mandrel preferably comprises a body portion of substantially the shapeshown. in the drawings,`which consists of a central portion 2 which is of comparatively less cross-section than the end portions 3 and 3. As will be readily apparent from the drawings, the outer surface of the mandrel gradually flares outwardly from a central portion to each end thereof. In Figures 2 to7, mydevice is shown in horizontal position but it will be apparent that the end of the device at theright is the upper end while the other end is ,the end which will be disposed adjacent the scalp.

The mandrel I is provided with a cylindrical extension 4 on the upper end thereof. i 'I'his cylindrical extension 4 is provided with a longitudinal slot formed in the outer surface thereof. This slot 5 is adapted to receive a key 5 which is disposed on the inner surface of a collar 6 mounted in surrounding relation to the extension 4. Thus, this collar E is splined on the cylindrical extension 4 and can be moved longitudinallyv thereof but cannot be rotated thereon. Y*

A member 1 which is adapted to grip the free end of the lock of hair and hold it on the body portion of the mandrel I, is pivotally connected to thecollar 6. Thismember 1 is bifurcated at its upper end yand the arms 8 thereof, are adapted to-t around the collar 6 andvto, be pivotally connected thereto by pins 9 passing through openings therein. The member 1 is of such a shape that it will fit over the mandrel I and will extend substantially half-way therearound.

As will be understood hereinafter, the free end of the hair is placed on the mandrel and the memberal is then swung down over the mandrel to grip the hair thereto. The memberV 1 may be moved longitudinally relative tothe mandrel I by moving the collar 6 back and forth on the cylindrical extension 4. Thus,` the member 1 may be moved to any desired longitudinal position relative to the mandrel I. As `will be seen from Figure 5, a shoulder I8 is provided on one side of the body portion of the mandrel I at the upper end thereof,` to prevent the collar 6 slipping downwardly thereover. However, this shoulder only extends a very short distance around the mandrel and is disposed diametrically opposite Yto the point where the collar 6 iss'plined to the extension 4 so that the member 1 may be moved downwardly into firm contact with Athe body portion of the mandrel, no matter what longitudinal position it occupies relative thereto.

The upper end of the cylindrical extension 4 is provided with teeth II integrallyformed thereon. These teeth'are provided for a purpose to be later explained. The main body portion 'of the mandrel and the cylindricalextension 4 are provided with a centrally tdisposed opening I2 extending entirely therethrough. The lower end of the mandrel I is provided with a cylindrical socket member I3 suitably formed therein, for apurpose which will be hereinafter described. Y

The opening I2is adapted to receive'a shaft I4 which is adapted to extend entirely therethrough and to 'project from each end of the mandrel I. The shaft I4 has acup-shaped member I5'keyed thereon adjacent the lower end thereof. This member I5 is adapted to be rotated by rotation of the shaft I4. The member I5 comprises a bottom I6 and an upwardly projecting flange I1` integrally formed thereon. 'Ihis ange I1 is also flared outwardly as will be obvious from the drawings. The bottom IB and the flange I1 are cutaway as at I8 so that a lock of hair may be passed therethrough. The bottom I6 is also provided with a spiral slot I9 which extends from the cutaway portion I8 a susbtantial distance around the bottom I6 and to a point adjacent the center thereof (Figure 8). This slot communicates with the cutaway portion I8 and is comparatively wide at this point. The slot I9 gradually decreases in width from its outer end adjacentthe cutaway portion I8 to its inner end adjacent the center of the bottom I6 of member I5. The flange I1 is` also provided with a finger 28 integrally formed thereon which projects out into the cutaway portion I8.

As shown in Figures 2 and 5, thev shaft I4 projects foi` a short distancenbelow the bottom I6 of the member. I5. This shaft is threaded at its lowermost end as at 2|. The lower end of the shaft I4 is adapted vto pass through an opening 23 in a second cup-shaped member 22. The member I5 isvadaptedY to fit Within the member 22 and toebebrotatably mounted therein. A removable nut 24 is adapted to cooperate with the threaded lower end 2l yof the shaftV I4 to maintain the member I5 within the member 22.

The member 22 comprises a bottom 25v having an upwardly extending annular flange 25. This flange is also flared outwardly andis adapted to lie in close contact with the ange I1 of the member I5 whensuch member is mounted lin the member 22. The bottom 25 and the flange 26 are cutaway as at 21 and this `cutaway portion may be brought into coincidence with the vcutaway portion I8 of the member I5 when this member I5 and the member 22 are brought intoa certain position relative to each other (Figure 8).

The outer surface of the member 22 is provided with a plurality of lugs 28 suitably formed thereon. y By means of these lugs the member 22 may be firmly held while the member I5 is rotated therein through the medium of the shaft I4 and other mechanism toY be later described. The flange 26 is further provided adjacent its upper edge with a notch 29 cut therein. The finger 20 of ange I1 of member I5 is further provided with ashoulder' 20 formedon its upper edge. This notch 29 and shoulder 20 are lprovided for a purpose which will be subsequently described.

A third cup-shaped member 30 is *loosely mounted on the shaft I4 above the cup-shaped member I5. This cup-shaped member 30 comprises a bottom portion 3l and an upwardly extending and outwardly ared flange 32 integrally formed thereon. This flange is'bent outwardly at its upper edge and then downwardly to form an annular groove 33 extending almost entirely around the upper end of the member 30. 'I'he bottom 3l and the flange 32 of 'the member 30 are also provided with a cutaway 4portion 34. This cutaway portion 34 always lies in coincidence with the cutaway portion 21 in the member 22, and the cutaway portion I8 of the member I5 may be vbrought into coincidence with-both the cutawayportions 21 and 34 when desired so that a lock of hair may be passed through this gripping and locking mechanism.

Asshown Ain Figure 5, when the gripping device is `,assembled the cup-shaped member 15 will t within the cup-shaped member 22. Furthermore, the cup-shapedV member 30 will t within the cup-shaped member I5. The upper edge of the flange I1 of the cup-shaped member I5 will fit in the groove 33 formed o n the upper portion of the member 30. A pin 35 extends transversely across the groove 33 and this pin is adapted to cooperate with the notch 29 formed in the upper edge of the flange 26 to prevent relative rotation between the member 22 and the member 30. Thus, the cutaway portions 21 and 34 of the members 22 and 30 respectively .will always lie over each other. gV

The bottom portions and the side walls of al1 the cup-shaped members 22, I5 and 30 will all lie in close contact. However, the member I5 will be rotatably mounted between the cup-shaped member 22 and the cup-shaped member 30, as will be readily apparent. The shoulder 20 on the upper edge of `iiange I1 of member I5 will cooperate with the pin 35 to limit rotation of the member I5 in either direction. 1

When it is desired to use the gripping device the various parts of this mechanism are adjusted to the positions shown in Figure 8. 'A lockof hair is then segregated and is passed through the cutaway portions 34, I8 and 21 in the members 30, 'I5 and 22 respectively. With the hair so positioned the member I5 is then rotated in a clockwise direction (Figure A1) which will cause the finger 20 to move across the cutaway portions in the members 22 and 3B and will hold the'stran'd of hair therein. Further rotation of the member I5 causes the cutaway portion I8 thereof to move between the bottomsof the members 22 and 30. It also causes the wide outer end of a' slot I9 to gather in the hair .and to vmove around the strand of hair. Further movement of ymember I5 causes the narrow portion. of the slot I9 to move around the strand of hair until it is nally positioned between the outer wall of said slot and the inner edges of the cutaway portions 21 and 34 of members 22 and 3 0. Thus, the lock'of hair will be securely held rbetween th-e member I5 and the members 22 and 30. The opening extending entirely through the gripping device rst completely encloses the hair and then rotation of member I5 causes it to be gripped ther-ein. Because of the spiral slot I9 which is wide at its outer end and gradually decreases in widthtowards its inner end, means is provided for accommodating different sized locks of hair.

The member 3i! is further provided with an upwardly extending hub portion 36. portion 35 is adapted to havev a coil spring 31 mounted in surrounding relation thereto. One end 3B of this spring, passes into a socket formed in said hub so that the spring is secured thereto. The other end 39 of the spring is free and abuts against the bottom of the cup-shaped member 30. surrounding relation thereto, is adapted to 'vfit within the socket I3 formed in the lower end of the mandrel I. As will be understood hereinafter, this mechanism permits rotation of -the mandrel i in a certain-direction on the shaft I so that the hair may be tightened on the mandrel but precludes rotation of the mandrel in the opposite direction to prevent the hair from becoming loose thereon.

As previously stated, the upper end of the shaft E4 extends a considerable distance above the upper end of the cylindrical extension 4 on the mandrel I This upper end of the shaft I4 is provided with a squared portion 40 and a threaded por- .g

tion 4I. The squared portion 40 is adapted to This llubV The hub member 36 with the spring 31 in receive a-gear 42 having a squared opening 43 extending therethrough.. It will be obvious that rotation of this gearwill cause rotation of shaft I4.` The gear `42 is provided with a cylindrical extension 42 on the lower end thereof which is devoid ofA gear teeth. The upper end of the extension 4 on the mandrel I is also provided with a portion `42a above the gear member I I which is also devoid of gear teeth.

vA sleeve member 44 is mounted on the extreme upper end of my .device and this sleeve is adapted to serveas a .clutch member for rotating gear 42, and consequently, shaft`|4 or for Vengaging teeth II, and consequently, rotating mandrel I. This sleeve is adapted to be slipped over the gear 42 and teeth II and is provided With an annular rack surface 45 disposed on the inner surface thereof. A nut 46is adapted to cooperate with the `upper threaded end 4I of the shaft I4 to prevent removal-of the sleeve 44 and to secure other parts of my device together. As will be obvious fromthe drawings, this nut fits within the sleeve and the rack surface 45 formed therein will cooperate with the nut to prevent removal of the sleeve. AThe sleeve 44 is provided withlugs 44 on the outer surface thereof, which facilitate rotation of this sleeve.

When the sleeve is in the position shown in Figure 5`, if it is rotated it will not serve any-function inasmuch'as the racksurface 45 will lie over the portion 42l of thergear 42-and the portion 42a of the cylindricallextension 4 of the mandrel. i l1-Iowever, if itis moved downwardly from the position shown in Figuref, to the position shown in Figure 6,.the rack member 45 willlengage with the teeth II.. Thereafter, rotation of sleeve 44 will cause rotation .of .the mandrel I independent of the shaft I4. If the sleeve'is then moved upwardly to theposition shown in Figure 7 it may be rotated to cause rotation of the shaft I4 and consequently rotation of the member I5 on the lower end thereof. Thus, the clutch member may be operated to cause thegripping mechanism on the lowerv end of the device to be operated or to rotate the mandrel I which is adapted to cause tightening of the hair thereon as Will be hereinafter apparent.

.When the mandrell I is rotated in va counterclockwise direction-asindicated by the full line arrows' in Figure 4, through the medium of the sleeve 44 and teeth II, the spring 31 `in the socket I3 formed in the lower end thereof will tend to.

become smaller and permit rotation of the mandrel. However,`if the mandrel is rotated in a clockwise direction, 'as indicatedby the dotted arrows in Figure 4, the spring 31 will tend to become larger in diameter and to more rmly contact with the wallsof the socket I3, so that rotation of the mandrel relative to the hub 36 of member 30 is prevented, since the spring is secured to the said hub. The member r3IJ will be precluded from rotating relative to member '22 by means of the slot 29 in member 22 and the cooperating key 35 on member 30. AThe member 22 will be gripped by the fingers during rotation of the mandrel. Thus, rotation of the mandrel in one direction is permitted while rotation in the opposite direction is precluded. As will be understood hereinafter, this makes possible the tightening of the hair on the mandrel and maintaining it in stretchedjposition by locking the mandrel in adjusted position. Furthermore, with this mechanism al1j parts of the strand of hair are subjected to a substantially uniform tension. 'The lower end of mydevice may be provided with a disk of Ifeltf52 (Figures 9 to 13) 4'or of 'other material/which 'will not readily conduct heat so that the lower end of Amy hair waving device will not contactS-with the headof the person being 5 operated upon.

4In the .operation -of my device, as shown in'Fig ure 9, the free -end of the hair is placed between the mandrel I and the member 1. The member 1 is then swung down over the mandrel and held thereonxby the finger and thereby .grips the hair on 'such' mandrel. Then the entire device is rotatedinv a counter-clockwise direction indicated by the arrow in Figure 9 until all the hair is wound around the mandreland the outer surface of the member 1, as shown in Figure 10. Then the portion of the lock of hair adjacent the scalp is inserted intothe gripping mechanism on the lower end. of the device and such mechanism is operated totightly grip that portion of the hair. This :gripping mechanism is operated by pulling the lsleevemember 44 to its uppermost position (Figure l0.) and then rotating it in a clockwise direction Aindicated bythe arrow .to cause the member I5 of thegripping mechanism -to rotate relative to .members 22v and 30 andthereby grip the hairtherein.

It is then desirable to tighten. the hair on the mandrel so that it will bestretched thereon. To do thisthe member 22, at the .lower end of my device, gripped by the fingers as shown in Figure 11. The sleeve member 44. is .then moved downwardly. as far as possible and rotated in a counter-clockwise direction indicated bythe arrows, (Figure 11), which will cause the mandrel 5 to rotate on shaft I4. vSince the lock of hair is secured adjacent the lower end ofthe device by the gripping mechanism and since the free end of the hair is secured between the. member 1 and the mandrel and the hair is Wound on the mandrel in a counter-clockwise direction, rotation of the mandrel in a counter-clockwise direction will cause tightening Vof the hair thereon. Furthermore, this will cause uniform tensional stresses to be vimparted to `all portions of the lock of hair. Rotation of the mandrel I in a reverse direction will be prevented by the spring 31 as previously described.

When thehair isproperly positioned on the device-a tube 41 is placed thereover, as shown in Figure l2. This tube is adapted to contain felt, or other such material, which is saturated with hairwaving ilu'id. This tube 41 is crimped at its upper end so that it tightlyfits around my; hairwaving device. The tube is also provided with open-ingsV 48 in its upper end toxallow escape of vapors therefrom.

A heater 49 of any suitable form may be provided and this heater is adapted to receive the hair-waving-d'evice with the tube 41 thereon. The 60NA heater 49 preferably has a cap member 5D mounted on the upper end thereof, having a duct 5I formed therein so that the vapors may escape therefrom.

After the hair has been` properlyv treated, the various parts of my device are adjusted to release the hair therefrom. To do this, the collar 5 is preferably moved upwardly which will cause upward movement of the member 1 on the mandrel I. Movement Aof the member 1 upwardly causes the lower end thereof `-to move away from the cup-shapedmember and to draw most of the hair out of such member, and causes the lock of hair to be wound in a spiral path around the lower end of the mand-rel. Then the gripping 75:; mechanism may be -readilyoperated to release its the device by merely turning the entire device in a *direction opposite to the arrows in Figure 9.l "'Itfwill'be understood from the above description that Ilhave provided a hair-waving device having -many advantageous features. This device iis. comparatively simple and inexpensive to manufacture-and 'is 'very effective for the purpose intended. Furthermore, the means for gripping the hair adjacent the scalp and for securing it on the-mandrel is easily operated and will notlinjur'e the hair. Y Another advantageous feature of my invention is=the fact that it is provided with means for tightening the hair on the mandrel of such type as to be feasily `operated and .Which will subject the hair to uniform tensional stresses and will not subjectany given .portion of the hair to any excessive strains. Still another advantageous feature 'of my invention is the fact that this single hair-.waving device may be used for producing any of the various types of waves, this being possible because Aof the shape of mandrel I and member] and because of the relative adjustability of these two members. i

:Another advantageous feature of my invention is the-fact that it is of 'such a structure as to be extremely light -in weight. Furthermore, because of the vstructure of the various parts of my device a, lock :of hair 'of any length may be properly wound thereon.
